A propos de cet article

Joan Didion's copy, with a bookplate affirming this provenance on the front free endpaper, and a review copy, with the publisher's slip laid in at middle. This is Plath's third collection, published posthumously under the editorial direction of her widower, the poet Ted Hughes, who curated this selection of poems written between her first book, Colossus, and her second, Ariel, also posthumous. Plath and Didion were contemporaries, and parallels between Plath's The Bell Jar and Didion's Play It As It Lays have been noted by critics. Also, from a 2003 article in the Guardian: "Didion remembers [Plath] as a rival for the same prizes and jobs. 'She was guest editor at Mademoiselle the year I wasn't.'" Apparently earlier they also cycled through the same internship at Mademoiselle. Slate-blue boards, ochre cloth spine, lavender endpapers. A very good copy with sunning to top and lower edges of boards; the pages are also unevenly cut at their lower edges, either the printer's error or intention. In a very good jacket with a hint of sunning to the top edge, a little curl to edges, and faint rubbing where the paper turns to cloth on the underlying boards. A compelling association uniting two icons of twentieth-century literature.…

Description de la boutique

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.…
